Last Chance for These 2022 Scholarship Deadlines

Kevin Ladd

It is officially late-December; the end of the year, the conclusion of semester one and quarter two. Hanukkah is halfway over already with Christmas and New Year’s merely days away. Students and teachers are either on break or about to be and before you know it, we’ll be kicking off 2023!

Fear not, though, there are still plenty of scholarships out there that are well worth your time and consideration and we even listed some below; they range from $5,000 to $20,000 and could make quite a large dent in your tuition and other college-related costs next year. With all of them having a December 31st deadline, you still have ten days left to apply!

Enjoy all the cocoa and candy canes and other holiday treats you like, but if you can find time to squeeze a few or even several scholarship applications in during the break, you might just save yourself a very tidy sum of money down the line when you graduate and have to start repaying student loans. Remember, the below examples are just a few examples of the many scholarships that have yet to close for the academic year. Apply early… Apply often!
